Homes now rising from a dusty subdivision in Desert Hot Springs may be at the forefront of future homebuilding. Unlike the dozens of houses surrounding this 20-home development on the east side of town, these houses aren't made from wood and stucco.

Proponents say 3D printing can produce homes faster and potentially cheaper than traditional construction.
